visible: Nothing clipped. All content will be rendered outside the block box.

hidden: Content is clipped without scrolling user interface. The content can't be view outside of the clipping region.

scroll: Content is clipped with a scrolling user interface whether or not any of its content is clipped. When this value is specified and the target medium is 'print', overflowing content may be printed.

auto: The behavior of the 'auto' value is user agent-dependent, but should cause a scrolling mechanism to be provided for overflowing boxes.
